Question

A dice is rolled twice. What is the probability of rolling a 3 followed by a 2?

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

Probability of rolling 3 in a dice = 1/6.

Probability of rolling 2 = 1/6

Since, 2 should be followed after 3; we multiply 1/6 and 1/6

1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36.

Answer 2

The two rolls of the number cube are independent events because

the result of 1 roll does not affect the result of the other roll.

To find the probability of two independent events, we first find

the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities.

We can find the probability of an event using the following ratio:

number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Since there is only one way to roll a 3 and there are six

possible outcomes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6.

Since there is also only one way to roll a 2 and there are

six possible outcomes, the probability of rolling a 2 would be 1/6.

Now we multiply the probabilities.

1/6 x 1/6 is 1/36.

So the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 is 1/36.
